Ok, not wild about most of the mini adventures here. I've liked the Yuan Ti in the old fort one and run it with two different groups, one AL and one doing a non-AL mini campaign based on the Tortle Package. I might have used another one with one of the groups but it was less memorable if I did. All the encounters need a bit of fleshing out, perhaps less in the straight up AL lets get going with the adventure format than if you are adapting for a home campaign. However, with my AL sessions I had a consistent group week to week so we did some random encounters with hexcrawl travel and such on the way to the encounter and the one "mini" adventure then took a whole two sessions to complete. I liked using the previous adventure (DDAL07-01) as the kickoff for the Tomb of Annihilation campaign, I don't think these work as well for integrating with ToA but are more useful thematically for encounters using the setting if not the storyline of the hardcover. The undead encounter made absolutely no sense to me, and the warlock one didn't seem to gel well with the setting.
